kormgar Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've written collection of Blender 2.49b tools designed to simplify many common modding tasks. These include: Lattice Generator: Significant updates and improvements to the lattice generator with vastly improved quality and performance. I'll post a tutorial soonbut the idea is to create a reusable lattice that can be used to quickly and easily convert clothing or armor from one body style to another.**UV Map Search Feature: This allows the lattice generator to use UV Map data to find matches between meshes. Only works when the meshes use compatible UV Maps, but when they do, the results are amazing.**Performance: Major updates to the search engine have reduced typical lattice generation times from ~200 seconds to less than 15 seconds. Major improvements to quality have eliminated the 'missed vertex' problem.Seam Mender: Seam Mender is designed to eliminate all trace of visible seams between two meshes. The latest update mends BoneWeight, Location, Vertex Normal, and the UV Map. Boneweight copy: Extremely fast, high performance, high quality bone weight copy script. The latest update incorporates the updates to the back-end search algorithm for significantly improved results. ConvertPose: Now includes the ability to animate shapekey animations to view animated facial expressions in Blender.UV Layer Copy: Automatically copy UV Map information from one mesh to another. Quality of final results depend on the physical similarity between the meshes. Mirror Bone Weights: Automatically mirror the weightpainting from one side of a mesh to the other with opposite side vertex groups automatically created and named as needed. Is there any interest in these tools here? If so, I'll upload the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be surprised...some of the tools, particularly the lattice generator, are entirely unique. In addition to the Blender version, I'm porting my Seam Mender tool to a Python/Pyffi dependent version that can automatically process and repair an entire directory of files. It's in Beta, but looking pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNewcenstein Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Definitely upload them. Not all of us have student-freebie or pirated Max, much less $3800 retail-Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2547005User Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm always interested in scripts that bring the High-end render program tools to Blender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kormgar Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Done. I've uploaded the package to: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49377/? I'll post some tutorials and screenshots later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
